Yup. It's too bad. They were really the only good engine manufacturer left.

Everything is getting outsourced to the chonda engines. I see toros and such with no name Chinese engines. And these are riders. Let alone all the tillers, pressure washers, wood chippers, and generators that have been using Chinese engines for years

Chapter 11, apparently which means they can restructure IIRC. Chapter 7 means they are no longer a company IIRC. Pretty sad they went bankrupt.

Yeah...actually toro started manufacturing there own engines but I have no idea if they are clone or not. Dont look like a clone anyways. See alot more kohlers on zero turns than anything else but briggs have always dominated the riding mowers and push mowers.

Honestly I like the 6.5 vanguard the most out of any engine that's new. Way better than the hondas.

Anyone know where I can get a 9/16 id X 3/4 od x 5/8 bearing at? I've found koyo/torrington is the only company I can find that makes it but it seems to be obsolete from any bearing dealer. Numbers we've found so far have been a M-19101 and B-910

When you can't afford a jeep.

Long needed garage storage.  Got started, plan on redoing the work bench next.

Dude, that thing would sell for much more than a jeep around here. You can get an '87 Cherokee for like $500 up here. Everywhere you go there's one following you around. There like little fleas.

My dad had a '98 2WD Cherokee in FL. We sold it before we moved because the trans went out. Now the Hummer's trans went out. I can't blame it. It's lasted 260K miles.

Anything with that thin of a cross section sounds like a needle bearing. Just keep checking for cross reference. Also have you checked McMaster or Grainger?

McMaster's has these sleeve bearings listed but either 1/2" or 3/4" long:

SAE 841 bronze bearings are porous and embedded with graphite for continuous lubrication.

3/4" 3/4" 670 lbs. @ 60 rpm Embedded -50° to 700° 9368T171 2.00

SAE 660 Leaded Bronze Bearings

OD Length Lube Temp Range °F Part No. Price each
3/4" 1/2" 1,100 lbs. @ 60 rpm Required -350° to 450° 6381K526 $5.59

Meanwhile, this snake held up traffic on the boardwalk trail at Bushkill Falls, PA.
It was about 2 feet long and the skinny part of its neck is about 1/2" diameter.
What kind of snake is it? Is it dangerous?

Well I've just decided that the old one is good enough to reuse. It's just obsolete. Appreciate looking tho!

I see you made me a Dimeweld, Mighty. Interesting, you might change that if you saw the welds i don't post.

Just saw you're from Norway, Koltin. Do you dislike the Finnish as much as every other Norwegian i know?

I just noticed that earlier today too. I'm a prybar or something? I'll accept that I guess. Prybar are good friends of mine...

At least we don't have Blake's or CQ's

Anywards thought I'd give a little update on the garage in all its lime green glory! Thanks to my uncle for not being afraid of heights, unlike like myself, it now has a roof on it!
